All the world’s a stage. Or is it a simulation? The idea that what we consider reality is actually a simulation was first proposed by scientist Nick Bostrom, and it is frequently addressed in fiction ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs), which are present in the bodily fluids of organisms inhabiting cold environments, function as inhibitors of ice growth by binding to certain planes of ice crystals. However ...

Computer simulations of genetic polymorphisms complement analytical approaches for investigating complex evolutionary, epidemiological and ecological scenarios for both applied and theoretical ...

Simulation theory proposes that our reality is a sophisticated computer simulation, raising profound questions about the nature of consciousness and existence. Simulation theory is a fascinating ...

“Computer-implemented simulations are as patentable as any other computer-implemented method. Nothing is to be changed in the patentability assessment criteria utilized so far, with the clarification ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

The simulation hypothesis asserts that life as we know it – that reality – is actually just a simulation, perhaps a simulation that is housed in some great computer. Of course, as Marcello Truzzi ...

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

But someone asked him a question about my talk, specifically regarding the simulation hypothesis—the suggestion that we live in a computer generated reality. He claimed that simulation arguments, like ...

Swedish Philosopher Nick Bostrom’s simulation argument says we might be living in a computer-generated reality. Maybe he’s right. There currently exists no known method by which we could investigate ...
